Discover this Thyroid Gland Examination Simulator, a great training tool for medical students. It can also be used for specialised endocrinology training.
Students can perform a thyroid examination and trainers can use the model to guide teaching sessions about key thyroid diseases such as Graves’ and hypothyroidism.
A very impressive feature of the model is that swallowing can be demonstrated and students can observe the positioning of the thyroid; it goes up fast and slowly down. Additionally, one side of the thyroid gland contains a firm nodule which moves with swallowing. This offers students the unique opportunity to observe abnormal thyroid pathology.
The model is extremely realistic with soft skin and precise anatomical landmarks such as:
- Mandible
- Thyroid cartilage
- Trachea
- Clavicle
- Sternal angle
- Costal bone
- Intercostal space
- Costal arches
- Costal angle
- Xiphoid process
- Anterior superior iliac spine
- Umbilicus
- Pubic symphysis
- Groin
